Deuter Aircontact 65+10 Pack Features

Stabiliser straps allow optimal positioning of the backpack. These are easily repositioned on the shoulder straps using a

in.Triglide in. buckle

Breathable padding with special ventilating hollow chamber foam: With every movement, a pump effect circulates air through the breathable Aircontact cushions of this direct body contact system. Extra air channel ventilation between the back cushions is very effective

The anatomically shaped hip fins are made from multiple layers

The inner side has a layer of soft foam with 3D AirMesh lining for heightened comfort. The firmfoam on the outside is modelled to the anatomic shape and transfers the load to the hips. Side compression straps on the fins regulate the load and increase stability

On the compact ACT Lite fins this bilaminate construction is perfectly balanced between weight reduction and load transfer ratio

Aircontact models designed to carry heavier loads, maximise stability and load transfer thanks to the additional synthetic reinforcement in between foam layers

Head molding provides freedom of head movement. Effective on models Aircontact50+10SL and up

Contoured shoulder straps with 3D Air mesh lining

Vari-Quick system for easy adjustment to any back length

The anatomic profiled X-frame offers a balance of torsional rigidity and flexibility to follow your body movements, and transfers weight through it's perfect back fit

All Aircontact models are fitted with Deuter's Vari Flex System, leaving the generous hip fins fully mobile. The Vari Flex hip fins follow even the most complex movements allowing tricky sections to be negotiated without losing your balance especially important when carrying a hefty load

Bought this to be used for upcoming Philmont Trip with son's Boy Scout Troop. Used to be an external frame user, but after using an internal frame for Philmont 2011, I decided to switch to internal packs. After much research and talking to local camping people, I decided to go with the Deuter AirContact. I was not disappointed. It had all the room and comfort as an Osprey that I was looking for along with a built-in rain cover which w/ Osprey would have been an extra $30-$40. I like the added velcro hooking idea for a water bladder, but don't understand why there is only one out passage for the drinking tube. The sleeping bag compartment is big enough to hold both my sleeping bay and tent (both are in cinch sacks). The only thing that I don't like is the weight of the pack at almost 6 pounds. So for a minimulist, I would not recommend. Overall, I believe this will be used for my upcoming Philmont trip and beyond.
